I saw it yesterday. Disappointed that Jason also preferred 370Z to Z4. They are giving away a used 350Z though. I love my E89.

[Wondermike]

I never saw it, is the clip the full length that was shown on the TV?

Glad to hear you are loving the E89. We need more pics and the interior

[Guiseley]

Thanks for the link. Just look at them though - one has been hit hard by a plastic ugly stick, and the other's a Z4

I'm going to wash my Zed tomorrow (2nd wash after 1-month ownership). Space Grey needs more wash (better than Deep Sea Blue though). I stil have no picture with the roof down. Interior is not different from the picture you posted before.

The Zed Jason tested was not the 35is (only a standard 35i), so adaptive sport suspension could be missing. Even my M Sport Z4's suspension is different from my old E85 Sport. The ride is better over the bumpy road. It can be improved by new Bridgestone Potenza (3rd generation) and new sport suspension components used.

The Z4 is a better looking car(the one i'd have),not a fan of the Datsun 370z ok so it was quicker round Anglesey Whoope doo, but realife is where it counts.

There is a 370Z convertible in the parking deck. UGLY. Looks large and cumbersome. The couple 'vettes and my Z4 kill it in the looks department.

[ksher]

I think the 370Z looks worse than 350Z.

[Smokin]

Bangle never designed a butt as large as that 370's.

[original guvnor]

Was it just me or did the track look a lot wetter when the Zed was lapping than when the 370Z was ?

I'd prefer a dry lap comparison tbh.

The 370 Roadster is pig ugly. Got a great big butt just like Serena Williams !

I like the 370Z and I bet it drives better that the Z4 easly.
As an every day car however (money not considered here) why would you not take the Z4.

I looked at the 360Z & Honda S2000 before getting my Z4. Both were more focused driver cars but the BMW gave a better all around package.

Bangle never designed a butt as large as that 370's.

Agreed, looks awful. I love the 370 coupe, but the roadster, no way!

[easty027]

have to agree. the roadster looks fugly, as did the 350z did in the roadster. Coupe version of the 370Z looks great though, especially in the bright blue colour.

[melbs]

the 370Z roadster indeed looks ugly, but the 370Z coupe is way better looking than the E89 Z4 or the old Z4 coupe, and it handles way better than the old Z4 as well, went to track with it and the E85 Z4. so with the heavier new E89, i'm sure the 370Z will defeat it more.

The arse on that 370 make the back wheels look tiny in profile.
